On page 81 of the print edition of the magazine, in the second paragraph under the subheading “Climate’s role in specifying air barriers,” the text reads:
In heat-dominated climates, the vapor retarder should be placed whatsapp number database at the building envelope’s interior.
Exterior Winslow writes
It should read “exterior” as opposed to “interior.”
The language there is a bit misleading as it is very close to “heating-dominated climates,” which would actually be cold climates. A heat-dominated climate would be one subject to large quantities of air-conditioning such as
Texas and Arizona.
The reasoning for having a vapor retarder located on the exterior side of the wall in these regions is because the vapor drive is actually in
reverse of what one there is no doubt that this is the future of customer servic would find in a cold climate like Colorado. Heat moves from hot to cold, and from moist to dry;
it condenses on the first cool surface it comes in contact with.
This is because the moisture drops out as cooler air cannot hold as much moisture.
If the vapor retarder was on
the interior side of the wall in warm climates, then it would condense within
the wall assembly and would not be able to dry out as easily since the moisture is driving from the hot and moist exterior to the cooler and dryer interior.
For additional information on vapor retarders, I recommend philippines numbers checking out NAIMich has lots of useful information.
The wording has also been corrected in the the magazine
